Orlando Process Server

A process server in Orlando could make or break your case before it even begins to navigate through the justice system. The law requires that plaintiffs give defendants ample notice of their planned legal course of action — if an incompetent process server allows too much time to elapse before serving notice, you may face significant obstacles in your case.

Firefly Legal can stand as your trusted partner and can ensure meticulous and timely process serving delivery of your legal documents, so you can focus on the big picture of your case.

Process servers need to have a good understanding of the laws and regulations governing the service of legal documents in the jurisdictions where they operate
After serving the legal documents, the process server typically completes an affidavit of service or a similar document.

What You Need to Know About Orlando Process Servers

Attorneys in Orlando need a process server who’s capable, trustworthy, and efficient. An unbiased, third party, discreet professional may be a vital key to unlock the process of your case.

Not all process servers are created equal. If you outsource your legal document delivery to an incompetent party, you could face tremendous delays, or even find that your case stops dead in its tracks.

You need a process serving team with a proven track record, a commitment to industry standards, and with thorough knowledge of and ability to comply with Florida and Tampa legal regulations.
Firefly Legal is passionate about providing innovative, customized solutions to meet your specialized needs. The excellence of our process servers can allow you peace of mind about your legal document delivery.

How To Choose an Orlando Process Server

Many legal services companies in Orlando may offer process services. However, it’s vital that you choose a trusted team that you can develop a partnership with, rather than hiring a different process server for each case.

You can use this checklist to help you find the right process services to meet your needs:

  • Determine how long a process serving company has been in business: Although new companies could still employ seasoned professionals, a process serving firm sans a proven track record may present a risk that you shouldn’t take.
  • Discover if their services reflect changes in legislation: The laws surrounding process serving can frequently change. A reliable firm will reflect these changes and highlight their inclusion in company services.
  • Research client testimonials and online reviews: If a company is established, they should have plenty of online reviews from various attorneys. A Google indexed website will most likely include client testimonials as well.
  • Ascertain how many offices the company operates: You may find that you require process serving in other counties or states. A firm with multiple branches may be better equipped to help you.
  • Ensure the team you choose is SOC 2 certified: SOC 2 certification is an important tool for process servers in Orlando. Essentially, this certification means that process serving professionals are well-versed in information security, and can keep your document delivery confidential.

Competence and Confidentiality Matter

Unfortunately, many defendants may dread “getting served” and will avoid it at all costs. They may abruptly move, call out from work, or otherwise change their normal routines to disrupt the serving process.

A professional process server uses innovative solutions to locate defendants and ensure proper legal document delivery. They may employ skip tracing or technology to locate and serve the named parties in your case.

The Important Role of the Process Server

In Orlando, as well as nationwide, a process server must be either a law enforcement official or an unbiased third party verified by the courts. The right process server will have extensive training and remain within legal compliance in their document delivery.

A process server isn’t just a courier, they are the catalysts to set the legal process in motion. They must ensure in-person delivery, practice confidentiality and sensitivity, and correctly identify intended recipients.

For example, a process server cannot leave a delivery on a front doorstep, or with a minor. If the intended recipient isn’t available, your documents cannot be delivered.
